Mini EV Charging Cables

The Cooper Electric, Aceman and Countryman Electric all charge on the universal Type 2 (Mode 3) connector, and none of them draw more than 11kW on AC, so a 7kW lead is the sensible default for home use on a single-phase supply. Older Mini plug-in hybrids may be Type 1, so check whether your charge port is round 7-pin or square 5-pin before ordering.

Choosing the right cable for your Mini

Mini's electric range: the new Cooper Electric (J01), Cooper SE (F56, discontinued), Aceman and Countryman Electric, uses Type 2 AC + CCS DC universally. Mini sits squarely in the BMW Group ecosystem, sharing platforms with BMW i-models. Compatibility is straightforward; the disambiguation is "Mini" the brand vs "mini" the size descriptor in product listings.

Connector spec by model

  • Cooper Electric (J01, 2024+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. 95kW DC peak.
  • Cooper SE (F56, 2020-2023): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. 50kW DC peak.
  • Aceman (2024+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. 95kW DC.
  • Countryman Electric (U25, 2024+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. 130kW DC.

AC charging speed at home

Every Mini EV caps at 11kW AC: same as BMW. So:

  • 11kW three-phase: ~45 miles/hour. 50kWh battery (Cooper Electric) refills 10-100% in ~4 hours.
  • 7.4kW single-phase: ~25-30 miles/hour. Same battery overnight in 6 hours.

Length recommendations

Mini charge ports are at the rear-right on the new J01 Cooper Electric, Aceman and Countryman. F56 Cooper SE was rear-right too. UK driveways: 5m for tight layouts, 7.5m or 10m for typical setups. The shorter cable lengths suit Mini's small footprint: you rarely need more than 7.5m.

Smart-tariff integration

BMW/Mini's Connected app handles basic scheduling. For Octopus Intelligent or similar dynamic tariffs, pair with a smart wallbox, Ohme for the deepest dynamic-pricing integration; MyEnergi Zappi for solar-PV homes; Hypervolt for design + tariff balance.

What we stock for Mini

  • Type 2 cables in 5-30m, 7.4kW and 11kW ratings.

"Mini" naming disambiguation

This page is for Mini the BMW-owned car brand. If you've searched for "mini" because you're looking for a small or compact charger, see granny chargers (the smallest Mode 2 portable units) or EO Mini Pro 3 (the smallest UK home wallbox by footprint, despite being a different brand).

Questions

Will this cable work with my Mini?
Every current UK Mini EV uses Type 2 (Mode 3). Older Mini hybrids or pre-2018 EVs may use Type 1, check your charge port: hexagonal 7-pin = Type 2, square 5-pin = Type 1.
What length cable should I get for my Mini?
10m suits most UK home setups. 5m if your wallbox is right next to where you park. 15-25m for awkward driveway layouts.
What rating? 7kW or 22kW?
Match to your wallbox. UK home wallboxes are mostly 7kW (32A single-phase). 22kW only relevant if you have a three-phase supply.
Do you sell granny cables for this car?
Yes: see our granny chargers range. Mode 2 portable cables work with all current Mini EVs.
How long does delivery take?
In-stock items ship same-day if ordered before 16:00 on a working day. Standard delivery is next-working-day across mainland UK. Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and remote Highlands take 2-3 working days. Free delivery on orders over £150.
